IMS/ASA Spring Research Conference 2017

May 17-19, 2017

Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ

SRC is sponsored by the American Statistical Association (ASA) Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences (SPES) and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). In 2017, the conference will be hosted by the Department of Statistics and Biostatistics at Rutgers. The conference has been in existence since 1994 and recent conferences have been hosted by Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago (2016), the Procter &amp; Gamble Company (2015), the University of Washington (2014), UCLA (2013), and Harvard (2012).

The goal of the conference is to promote inter-disciplinary research in statistical methods in engineering, science and technology. This is to be interpreted broadly to cover a wide range of application areas including environment, information and manufacturing sciences. The conference is intended to stimulate interactions among statisticians, researchers in the application areas, and industrial practitioners. It will provide a forum where participants can describe current research, identify important problems and areas of application, and formulate future research directions.
